This week the Opticianista chose a frame that spotlights just how awesome sunglasses can be All Year Round!
The Opticianista likes the orange color in this frame (look close and you’ll also see nifty gold flecks!). She likes that the orange is a bright color and that the frame has just a touch of 80s inspiration.
The frame has a confetti print, so it is not a traditional tortoise nor is it just one solid color which means that, most likely, two frames won’t look the same. The Opticianista is a fan of that unique feature of the frame, it’s something to adore about this line of sunglasses.
She also likes that it’s a cat-eye shape, but it’s one-of-a kind style makes if fashion-forward instead of a retro throwback.
And, most of all, the Opticianista is proud that Eye Spy Optical is the only store in Chicago that carries Thierry Lasry frames!

This week, our Customer of the Week is Erin! Erin decided to change up her look with her new pair of glasses. She tried on a lot of cool frames, but when she tried this Anne et Valentin on, for a lark, she discovered that edgy and angular may just have been what she was looking for!
Now Erin, and her husband Tom, are the coolest pair on the block in their Anne et Valentin frames!
Way to go, Erin, you look great! And you’re our Customer of the week!

This week, the Optician Magician chose a classic frame with a modern twist, the Francis Klein Marcus!
She chose this frame because it makes a statement while being understated.
She also likes the way that it has two colors, but not in a gradient tint, as has become quite the fad lately, but that one layer of color us cut away to reveal the lighter tint below. The cut-out also creates a unique, geometric pattern at the bridge, which is noticeable when the frame is worn.
The cut out adds texture to the frame and adds a bit of sophistication to make the frame more distinguished.
This smaller, vintage look fits smaller faces and is quite affordable for a handmade high quality product.
The best part, says the Optician Magician, is this frame is not flat, “It’s multi-dimensional, just like you and your personality!”

Our CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK, Jeanne, came in to Eye Spy looking for a new look. She liked an Anne et Valentin frame, but wanted to make sure she liked the color, so she took advantage of the November Trunk Shows and came in to do a little trying on of this and that. Still, it was the original frame that held her heart.
But here’s the kicker, Jeanne has really light (and lovely) blue eyes, so sun protection is very important. With the style frame she chose, a sun clip can be tricky. The traditional model has little claws that go over the side of the frame, which on a plastic frame is great, but on a metal frame can scratch the paint and make the frame look more worn than it is.
But Jeanne has great timing, yes she does, because she came in to Eye Spy shortly after the launch of the Chemistrie sunlenses. The Chemistrie sunlens is a clip that puts a small magnet in the lens of the glasses and a small magnet on the sun clip so when wearing the clip, the frame looks seamless and as though it was meant to protect baby blues from the sun’s craaaaazy rays.
Check it out, Jeanne looks great with the clip:
And without:
Congratulations Jeanne, your new glasses look fantastic AND they’re taking good care of your gorgeous eyes!

This weekend, we had the full Lafont collection in the store and, let me tell you, it was easy to fall in love.
One frame really stood out. The Lafont ESTHER stole my heart!
I, personally, adore the frame in this dusty rose color:
But if you stop by Eye Spy, you’ll be able to take a peek at this frame in black and leopard.
I love the contrast between the plastic sides and the titanium front. It’s a great way to give the frame a bold look without adding a lot of weight.
I also J’ADORE the little metal decoration at the temples. They’re like a 50s car and they say, “Yes, I am this wonderful.”
The frame is a fairly traditional cat-eye shape, but it doesn’t swoop too much, so the focus is still on the face and delightful eyes of the person wearing it. The Lafont Esther is just one of those frames that makes my heart sing and my feet dance dance dance all the way to Eye Spy!

As we pay close attention to our Farmer’s Almanacs and check weather.com daily for any sign of snow in the future, we at Eye Spy know that winter is right around the corner.
So why, you may ask, are we getting all giddy and hyper over sunglasses?
Because, the sun’s rays shine bright whether we like it or not and the glare off that snow and ice that is on its way is gonna be BRIGHT!
So, to get ready for the winter glare and shine, we have a TON of new
Maui Jim frames in stock!
They’re all
polarized so driving on those winter roads will be a little easier on the eyes when the sun hits the ice and snow.
They’re also pretty.
We can’t wait to outfit our Eye Spy customers in these Maui Jim frames!
We are giddy with anticipation for our trunk shows every Saturday in November, which will feature all of the new frames from our favorite lines! Hundreds of new frames, in every style and color imaginable…we’re getting dizzy just thinking about it! Come in next weekend for the LAFONT Trunk Show on Saturday, November 20 from 11-5!
